Paternity Suits in Maryland

In Maryland, the child born to unmarried parents legally does not have
a father. All that is required to change this is for the unmarried father
to sign the birth certificate and an Affidavit of Parentage before the
child reaches the age of 18. Then, the father will have full legal rights.

There are two main reasons it is important to establish paternity:

Custody / visitation: In order to even apply for child custody / visitation rights, an unmarried
father must be recognized by the court legally as the child’s father.

Financial support: A child can receive
child support along with other possible benefits such as health or life insurance, veterans’
benefits, and inheritance rights from their legal father.
